[BIC-announce] TR : Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday February 22nd at 13h / Candidate for the position for BME chair

[Christophe Grova]

Dear all,

Our next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar will be next wednesday

Wednesday - February 22nd,  at 13h

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775 University Street).

Speaker: Pr. S. Prakash, Dept. Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University , Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Pr. Prakash is a candidate applying for the position of the chair of Biomedical Engineering Dpt, so the attendance of most of you (especially Professors and students related to BME department) is really expected, as it is very important for the future of our department.

Title: Biomedical technologies for human health and industrial applications: biomedical technology and cell therapy research program

Abstract:
Research program at biomedical technology and cell therapy research laboratory in the department of biomedical engineering is geared towards the discovery of innovative biomedical technologies for better and affordable health care. The primary research interest is in the areas of artificial cells, microencapsulation, cell therapy, nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, drug delivery, bacterial cell therapy, medical device engineering, and other biomedical technology development. Specifically, research program is involved in developing a system whereby therapeutic products could be efficiently delivered to the targeted sites and their functions maintained by the use of live cells and other methods. In addition, it is directed towards designing innovative artificial cell microcapsules and understanding the basic mechanisms that govern the use of artificial microcapsules in delivery of therapeutic agents and subsequently enabling the development of affordable health benefits technologies and products. Key program contributions in the areas of artificial cell, heart health, liver health, colon health, wound healing, stent, siRNA delivery, stem cell therapy and others will be presented.
